PCI Graphics card for an old Lenova J100-8253. Advice needed on one to get

Hi. Have a question about fitting a PCI graphics card to an old Lenovo J100 8253.
The computer is being used as a Juke box basically and will play a dvd but it drops a frame accaisionally (every 5 seconds say) and its annoying even though it is only for about 250ms-300ms.
The computer has an 8x AGP slot and 3 PCI slots. I have two AGP cards namely a Nividia MX440 x8AGP 64MB and a Radeon R9250 128MB AGP/VGA. But cannot get drivers for either and I have searched high and low on the net so they are a no go.
Question is what PCI Card would be a good choice and that drivers can be got to run it. What MB would be necessary.
When I play the Dire Straits DVD from a file on one of my External 4TB HDD's Task Manager shows CPU at 100% and Memory at about 80%
The Computer is running Win 7 Pro SP1 x64 and has 2GB PC3200 DDR400 RAM. Can't add more RAM as that is the max it will run.
Win 7 Pro x64 is kinda heavy for the old Lenova but it works ok. It has a fantastic Windows Experience Rating of 1.0
Perhaps Change it to W7x32 or XP

Kioti, that computer you mentioned on uTube above is very similar to the computer I use, except mine is full size I believe:

Motherboard Name Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq 6000 Pro MT PC

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
